And once again, personal experience of today. I was walking the yard and caught a medium-size dog's glance. Perhaps he didn't like something in my eyes, or in my bag maybe, but I got he will rush on me just _now_. Somehow I even managed to notice it in time - so stopped harshly, looked straight on him and told to fuckoff. The beast escaped although not without some barking from a safe distance, you know.

But damn, you can easily miss it, or your voice will not be hard enough, and the next moment you will have to fight with an insane creature, and then do vaccination so on. What the fuck i need such troubles in my own yard?

Yep i'd read that book "white beem with black ear" and love animals too, but anyway I feel that if once again it'll happened, I will just take my phone from a pocket and call certain municipal service.

illegal software

- so if toybox can run on BSD it's legal, but if it only runs on linux it's a circumvention tool and illegal. suuuuure.....

- Oh no. [...] If BSD port will just be a curiosity then court will [rightfully] say that it's existence is just a window dressing. Napster was capable of commercially significant non-infringing use - yet it was not enough, after all. But if BSD port will be used often enough then, sure, it'll mean that toybox relicense happened for other reasons besides copyright infringement facilitation. but if it only runs on linux it's a circumvention tool and illegal
Again: nope. It's only illegal if it's only runs on linux and if a lot of companies continue to use it to violate GPL license for Linux kernel in [relative] safety.

Free software is so free, friendly community is so friendly.

I'm the ex-maintainer of busybox, who started toybox before I actually did the last release of busybox. I'm the one who _started_ the busybox license enforcement lawsuits (and recruited Erik Andersen in into it, and yes I still have my old email).

You're claiming that my new project might be considered an infringement facilitator AGAINST MY OLD PROJECT, and that stopping the lawsuits I _started_ might somehow legally do... something?

Your honestly believe that the legal system can and should forbid people from doing new things that compete with (and obsolete) their own previous work? And you take this position in defense of "freedom", as defined by the FSF?

I ask seriously: are you crazy? Do you need some kind of diagnosis and treatment? (I already _know_ the FSF does...

http://lwn.net/Articles/480654/ Oh damn, aren't they kidding? Are they really, in all seriousness, discussing whether it is legal to create BSD-licensed replacement for busybox - because, you know, this new code "is being written to contribute to copyright infringement"?

"it must be very peaceful, he thought, to lie and slumber and dream forever and ever, with the wind whispering through the trees and caressing the grass and the flowers over the grave, and nothing to bother and grieve about, ever any more. If he only had a clean Sunday-school record he could be willing to go, and be done with it all. Now as to this girl. What had he done? Nothing. He had meant the best in the world, and been treated like a dog—like a very dog. She would be sorry some day—maybe when it was too late. Ah, if he could only die TEMPORARILY!"

"the procedure was complicated, and when you were done, you were essentially left with a wholly unsupported Debian installation, so why not install directly from Debian?" (c)

So, finally they dropped it out in favour of the "LiveCD on a hard drive" approach. Yeah, that's exactly what ALT's netbook-live is about.

"And they get slathers of money—most a dollar a day, Ben Rogers says."

 

It was in my book "не меньше доллара". but i'm not sure what he reaaly meant here.

"I been to the circus three or four times—lots of times."

 

Oh, how could you ever translate this to "два или три раза", as in my book they did? HOW?

"Do you love rats?"

"No! I hate them!"

"Well, I do, too—LIVE ones. But I mean dead ones, to swing round your head with a string."

"No, I don't care for rats much, anyway. What I like is chewing-gum."

 

Becky's words usually are being translated as "я вообще крыс не очень люблю" - but for me she said rather "крысы мне вообще похую" ;) - or something like that. No?

Why, my active English is poor I admit it. Same time, my own _russian_ writing style is impacted very much by an English and this is a problem, sometimes.

I guess I would train myself. I mean - i'm communicating in english with my foreign coworkers every day, but still i would train myself by a simple approach to do not write blog posts in russian. You bloggers don't hesitate to correct me. Thank you.

Under no circumstances it means gns-ua is going to switch blog language - no, you can consider it just as another "trolling" activity.
